You've spent eight hours a day in the library for the past week, staying up until the wee hours of the night trying to pack an enormous amount of information into your brain. You do every practice test, every drill, and you feel like you're well on your way to a 100%. 8:30 a.m. and it's time for your test. You sit down, get out your pencil and calculator, and the tests are handed out. You flip it over and... you know nothing. It's nothing like the practice tests, or the practice problems. Nothing. You somehow manage to squeeze some answers out of your brain and collect yourself just enough to bring your test to your professor, however your mind is far from eased. You proceed to go through the 10 stages of failing a test.
1. Sheer panic
2. Nausea
Yup. There's a good chance you'll be running to the bathroom in between classes.
3. Anger
WHO MAKES THESE TESTS!? SERIOUSLY!?
4. Complete and utter defeat
5. Smiling through the tears.
6. I have no control of my life
Is it time to drop this class? Change your major? Transfer? Go start a rap career?
7. Yup, it's time to drop out
8. Being hopeful
Maybe it wasn't THAT bad. Maybe you passed!9. Who am I kidding? It was THAT bad.
Yeah, that was a good one.
